The city council could also award a bid for a detention pond and sewer outfall improvements.

The meeting will take place at the Council Chambers in City Hall, which is located at 114 W. Higgins Street tomorrow at 10 a.m.

The SJRA is planning to submit an application to the TWDB for a grant to conduct a Flood Protection Planning Project, according to the City of Humble’s agenda packet.

The project will be conducted in two different studies and is designed for areas within the West Fork San Jacinto River and Spring Creek watersheds, which flow into Lake Houston.

One study is to assess the feasibility of a flood control reservoir in the Spring Creek’s watershed and the other study will help develop a predictive tool for Lake Conroe to supplement the SJRA’s gate operations plan.

Council members urges community leaders, businesses, organizations and residents to submit letters of support of the SJRA to the TWDB.

The city plans to submit a copy of the resolution to the SJRA and the chairperson of the TWDB supporting their grant application.

Council members will also look at approving an award for detention pond and storm sewer outfall improvements.

The city received nine bids by June 6 for the project.

The project involves improving two of the city’s existing detention pond facilities and the replacement of two existing deteriorated storm sewer outfalls into Garners Bayou on Rankin Road.
